Ugh, don't want to even get into the tribal argument, it's a losing battle for me.
The guys who played at Stereobar were Bruno Brown and Erik El. I would agree with the statement they play a more tribal sound as I have seen them many times and they always rock it out.
Victor Calderone's set was mostly tribal tech and minimal but I don't think he really, really rocked it out, nor was he that comfortable with the massive crowd. I was in the dj booth for most of his set, and it was really cool of him to hang out for Danny Torrence's set right after, as most other headlining DJs would just take right off.
We were talking for a while and he said basically only Carlos Fauvrelle is making anything close to decent tribal sounds. VC said he still would like to play tribal once in a while, but unfortunately there is no more good tribal being made.
He's really digging the sounds of guys like Radio Slave, Paul Ritch, Dubfire, etc. He's no more about the big buildups and crazy break downs...those days are long gone.
Victor's better in a room with 300 to 900 people...like Stereo or Cielo. I think he's playing in Montreal again in Septemeber, and he's going to be here Thanksgiving Sunday at CiRCA with Roger Sanchez. He's playing the after hours set...hopefully it will be in the ballroom at CiRCA, but we'll see...
